Location

Santiago de Compostela is a city located in northwest Spain and is the capital of the autonomous community of Galicia, a millenary pilgrimage destination, cultural capital of Europe and World heritage city. “Santiago de Compostela is one of the most indisputable heritage assets of Humanity. Due to its monumental integrity, the city brings together specific and universal values (…) in an urban setting that overflows with both history and timelessness.” (UNESCO–ICOMOS Report, 1984).

Santiago airport

Santiago de Compostela Airport is just 10 minutes from the city and offers excellent air connections for conferences. A Coruña Airport, only 45 minutes from the Congress Center, complements the city’s flight options. With 3,250 daily seats to Madrid and Barcelona, there are reliable connections to both national and international destinations. Santiago ranks among the top five best-connected cities in Spain by air, providing ample capacity for conferences of up to 5,000 participants.

Train

Santiago de Compostela has an excellent train station, very close to the city center and within walking distance of both the historic and the new areas. There are a lot of long-distance and regional trains and there is a new high-speed connection (AVE) to Madrid, providing a direct link between Santiago de Compostela and the capital of Spain. The service runs about three times a day, with a travel time of approximately 3.5 hours. With these trains, Renfe now offers over 39,000 weekly high-speed seats (14,000 AVE and the rest Alvia), connecting Galicia and Madrid.

By road

Santiago de Compostela has excellent road connections with numerous Spanish cities thanks to its modern network of highways and motorways. For this reason, traveling by car is a popular choice, accounting for approximately 15–20% of participants attending conferences.

Climate

Santiago de Compostela has a mild, oceanic climate characterized by moderate temperatures and abundant rainfall throughout the year. Summers are cool, and winters are mild, with rain being a common occurrence. The city's location on the northwest of Spain influences its weather patterns, resulting in relatively stable temperatures and a humid atmosphere.

The average annual temperature is around 14.2°C. August is typically the warmest month, with average temperatures around 27°C, while January is the coldest, averaging about 9°C.

Specifically for July, when the conference will be held, attendees can expect very pleasant and mild summer weather. Average temperatures typically range from 15°C to 25°C. While it's an ideal time for exploring the city, the Atlantic influence remains.
